Lightbulb Ideas

I don't know about you, but I often get my lightbulb moments at unexpected times. For example when I am supposed to be doing something else like sleeping or working.

While we were running payroll this afternoon I got a great idea for a new knitting design. I have one more niece sweater to do for Christmas. I wanted it similar, but not the same.

Last night at knitting I was teaching Bona how to do a bobble. I was thinking about that and the sweater that I just finished and the pieces fell into place. I amb going to do a panel inbetween a small twist cable. It will be a combination of bobbles, twisted stitches, yarnovers and the stitch that is called the "butterfly" or "bow tie". I can't wait to start.

I am also gong to do something different for my nephew's sweater. At least I have not done it before, and that is to make a faux yoke with a different color and pattern on the top. I am curious to find out how it will turn out.
